GOLD DUST SHIPMENTS. A letter from
the U. s. assay Office at Boise city to
Weller & Wax, announces that the
assayer has received instructions from
Washington that in future the govern
ment will pay the transportation
charges on bullion from Boise city to
the mint. This places the Boise assay
Office on an equality with the New
York assay Office or the Philadelphia
or Frisco mint, with the advantage that
there is better express rate and
saving of time in shipping to Boise than
to either of the former places. By
recent order of the treasury depart
ment, pay for deposits is made in
checks of the First national bank of
Boise, the designated U. S. depositary
for this territory. Parties intending to
ship their dust to Boise should send it
to the bank, and the cashier will then
return the face of the assayer's cerif-
cate ia cash, or exehange-either east
ern or western-st par. The matter is
of Importance to our merchants and
miners and will prove convenience.

Some of the nervous people down in
Lewiston thought they felt an earth
quake shock the other day, but it turn
ed out that some fool fellow had dropped
a buzzard dollar on Main street, and
the shock was caused by a stampede
of the merchants along the rickety
sidewalks to corral that dollar before it
could get away. There are some, how
ever, who assert that the shock was
caused by the reading of DR.. Kelly's
momentous message to the city council
and his equally momentcus resignation
of the mayors Office. Both theories
are equally plausible.

A Woman's Friendship.

1t is a wondrous advantage to
man, in every pursuit or vocation, to
secure an adviser in sensible woman.
In woman there is at once a subtle
delicacy of tact, and plain soundness
of judgment, which are rarely COM
bined to an equal degree in man. A
woman, if she be really your friend, /,
will have sensitive regard for your
character, honor, repute. She will sell
dom counsel you to do shabby thing,
for a woman friend always desires to
be proud of you. At the same time,
her constitutional tlmidity makes her
more cautious than your male friend.
She therefore, seldom counsels you to
do an imprudent thing.
A mans best female friend is wife
of good sense and heart, whom he
loves, and who loves him. But, sup
posing the man to be without such a
helpmate, female friendship he must
still have, or his intellect will be with
out garden, and there will be many
an unheeded gap, even in its strongest
fence. Better and safer, of course, are
such friendships where disparity o.
years Or circumstances puts the idea
of love out of the question. Middle
age has rarely this advantage; youth
and old age have. We may have fe
male friendship with those much older
and those much younger than our
selves. Female friendship is to mar
the bulwark, sweetness, ornament o
his existence.

HE CHOSE THIS PATH FOR THEE

He chose this path for thee.
No feeble chance, no hard, relentless fate,
But love, His love, hath placed thy foot
steps here;
He knew the way was rough and desolate,
e Knew how thy heart would often sink
with fear;
Yet tenderly he whispered, ''Child, see
This path is best for thee
lie chose this path for thee.
And we'll He knew sharp thorns would tear
thy feet;
knew how the brambles would obstruct
the way,
Knew all the hidden dangers thou wouldst
meet,
Knew how thy faith would falter day by
day;
And still the whisper echoed. Eyes, see
This path is best foE thee.
He chose this path for thee.
And we'll He knew that thou must tread
Its gloomy wales and ford each flowing
stream;
Knew how thy bleeding heart would sob
bing moan,
Dear Lord, to wake, and find it all
dream"
Love scanned it all, yet still could say, 81
see
This path is best for thee"
He chose this path for thee.
Fen while He knew the fearful midnight
gloom,
Thy tinid, shrinking soul must travel
through;
How towering rocks would oft before thee
loom,
And phantoms grim would meet thy
frightened view;
Still comes the whisper, MY beloved, see
This path is best for thee
He chose this path for thee.
What need'st thou more? This sweetel
truth to know,
That all along these strange, bewilderine
ways,
Ger rocky sleeps and where dark rivers
flow,
His loving arms will bear thee "all the
days"
A few steps more, and thou thyself shalt SCI
This path is best for thee.

ceeded, when business came, in every
thing that they undertook, and placed
the Republicans on the defensive. 1t
is true that they were largely aided by
Speaker Webster, who has been good
Democrat ever since he voted for Bulla
and Davies; but Speaker Webster al
ways claimed to be Democrat.
But 1t is upon the "reeord," about
which the Republicans have always
been SO anxious, that the Democrats
have them on the hip. Every piece of
jobbery, recklessness, or rascality be-
fore the House, obtained the support
of the men who sat upon the Speakers
right. Although, especially since their
alliance with the Knights of Labor,
their principles approach to commu-
nism, with one exception, no railroad
or other corporation legislation, good
or bad, was asked for that dad not re-
oeive the almost solid Republican vote,
and that exception was the cleanest
railroad bill before the House. 1t was
only when needed money was asked
for the insane, the most unfortunate
of all the creatures whom God has
placed in the care of the State, that
DIR. York found it necessary to call a
halt in the extravaganza of his party,
adopting as his motto, "Millions for
tribute, but not penny for defence" !"
AS to the Independents, they have
vanished into air. The Speaker is a
good Democrat, Mr.. Pearson, for nine
DAYS wonder and for seven dicta-
tor, is now as nearly nothing politically
as man can be and still exist, and
there never were any others worth con-
sideration. Thus has passed from the
stage farce that has never proved
amusing, even for the performers.
The result has been good. 1t has
proved to the people of North Carolina
that, even aside from all question of
principles, safety and stability are TO
be found with the Democracy, alone.
There, only, are to be found compe-
tency and integrity.

Tomorrow the 4oth Congress will
be in the throes of death, and with its
dissolution the congressional life of
Gen. William R. Cox will, at least
temporarily, terminate. He has served
the district for the last six years with
conspicuous ability and great faithful
ness, and the Plant regrets that we are
to lose such representative Represen-
tative from the council halls of the ma
! ton.
The writer, while in Washington
watched his course in Congress witt
admiration for the individual, and witt
pride as a North Carolinian. He
stands to-day upon the floor of the ma
tional House of Representatives as ont
of the recognized leaders of his party
his manly form is known to represen
there a champion of true reform, ant
in his physique is embodied the trusted
exponent and defender of the polio,
of the best President this country ha
had in over quarter of century.
Within the last eighteen months h
has made for himself a national repu
tation, and he has reflected no smal
: measure of credit on our beloved Com
monwealth. Gen. Cox will not be al
lowed to retire from public life, an
: to whatever position of trust and homo
he may be called, he will carry wit
him the hearty good wishes of tn
Plant, while he discharges with abilit
and brilliancy the functions OF his ne
office.
Would that we had more men
, North Carolina like William Ruff
